As someone who lives in a generally hot climate, I decided to make a masterlist of posts I like that help with the current heat waves going on elsewhere.
Remember if you live in a hot area and are going "Ohh, but we deal with this all the time-" their infrastructure is not meant to deal with the current weather. The best thing we can do is help how we're able.
If you have anything to add to the Masterlist @ me or message me! Some things might contain similar info, but anything new is helpful.
Information Masterposts

General Information

2. Heat-coping Tips For No Electricity or Rationed Electricity | @rosslynpaladin

"Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911.""
4. 7 TIPS TO SURVIVE HOT HUMID SUMMERS | @pinnithin
"I wrote this up for a discord server but figured I would share it here with the heat wave hitting the US this week. you don't have to do everything on this list; the idea is to pick one or two things that work for your lifestyle and then add more as you get comfortable with them."
5. Heatwaves at Work | Post: @18thcenturythirstrap | Link: Goughs solicitors
"Thought this would be useful. Short version: unfortunately, there is no legal maximum working temperature (while there is a legal minimum temperature), but employers still have a legal duty to provide safe, reasonable and properly risk assessed working conditions - which includes managing the risks associated with requiring staff to work in excessive heat."
6. Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke | @thishazeleyeddemon
"By a Red Cross certified first responder

8. What to do during a summer power outage | @calico-cows
"This is assuming high temperatures. This list is not comprehensive, nor is it necessarily in order:

phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye
In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:
Taylor Farms
Earthbound Farms
Little Salad Bar (Aldi)
Marketside (Walmart)
Kroger House Brand
Target private label greens
Costco salads and greens etc
Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce
Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.
This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.
We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.
(By like...a lot. Probably 85% of the jobs I ran were Taylor Farms.)
Outbreak is considered to have started 1 May, I was laid off on the 27th. That would do it.
HEB-branded greens also come from Taylor. Simple Truth Organic is also a Taylor brand sold exclusively through the Kroger conglomerate.
CANADA, THIS MEANS YOU TOO. I used to run English/French bilingual product for EBF, and I shipped to the Baja California warehouse right alongside the stuff for the US.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

"Problematic height gap" was a concept made up by people who have never seen the kind of short people who go out to interact with the public. Those fucking gnomes fear nothing. If they're at the exact right height to bite you in the nuts, they will.
And insanely tall people come in two categories: If they're merely tall, and not large, they're just skittish fragile giraffes. The most dangerous thing they can do to you is stand up too fast, faint because their blood pressure dropped, and hit you on the way down like a felled tree.
The tall people who are also large are mostly chill in my experience. Sure some of them must be assholes just out of statistical inevitability, but it takes some edge out of life knowing that someone could try to hit you with a tank and all they're going to find out is whether or not a Leopard 2A7 has a crumple zone. And most importantly they are never tactically prepared for getting bit in the nuts.
i feel like lately every time it gets warm the local news is like "this is HISTORIC heatwave reaching the highest temperatures SINCE RECORDS BEGAN" so yknow thats probably a normal sign for the enviroment. this seems fine. dont worry about it.

as a teen, i was constantly harassed by adults enforcing ''dress codes'' on me. I very much experienced this as sexual harassment. I think this is one of many cases where people would more easily understand this as sexual harassment if I described it as if it happened to an adult.
imagine being on your lunch break, and your supervisor comes over to your table, tells you to stand up in front of everyone. they draw everyone's attention to your thighs. they tell you that you have broken the dress code because of the length of your shorts. they tell you to go change (so you do not get the rest of your lunch break). they do this every single day at lunch. every day. so you read the whole dress code front and back, and you choose your clothing carefully to not break it. you bring a cloth tape measure with you to work because they will not believe you. this time when your supervisor tells you that you're breaking dress code, you pull out your tape measure and show that you are within the limit. your supervisor says "I bet you wouldn't want me to bring you to the boss and let him measure it, would you?" it's clearly a threat: if you don't obey then you will be put alone in a room with your boss and he will touch your thighs. you don't know how to respond. you're taken out of lunch again.
this was my experience at school. replace supervisor with "teacher" and boss with "principal." this was sexual harassment. fuck dress codes.
